A Grand Summer Celebration at The Bellevue

It was a beautiful July day in Chantilly, Virginia, when Hussein and Basmalh celebrated their wedding at the stunning Bellevue Conference & Event Center. With its grand architecture and timeless interiors, The Bellevue provided the perfect stage for their elegant vision. Guests were greeted in the marble lobby by a breathtaking floral display cascading down the sweeping staircase—an enchanting prelude to the beauty that awaited within.

​

Inside the Grand Marquesa Room, crystal chandeliers bathed the space in a warm, golden glow. Tables draped in white linens were adorned with candelabras, lush floral centerpieces, and crystal glassware, while towering arrangements of roses and cascading greenery framed the stage in opulent detail.  The evening began with a graceful ballet performance by dancers from The Russell School of Ballet, followed by a spirited dabke led by Faris El-Layl, infusing the ballroom with joyous energy. Basmalh was radiant in a lace-detailed ballgown, her every movement shimmering beneath the lights, while Hussein was effortlessly classic in a tailored tuxedo.

Behind the scenes, Viva La Fiesta Planit orchestrated the day with finesse and heart, ensuring every transition unfolded flawlessly. The atmosphere was enhanced by Bright Consultation Weddings and Events, whose lighting and audio design elevated the celebration’s magic. Guests savored a decadent feast prepared by The Bellevue’s in-house culinary team, followed by a showstopping multi-tiered cake that mirrored the evening’s grandeur.

Set against the opulent backdrop of The Bellevue, Hussein and Basmalh’s wedding was a radiant fusion of culture, romance, and timeless sophistication.
